The tar completion provided by upstream targets GNU tar, which cannot handle zip files. I guess it would be fine to assume BSD tar on Mac OS X.

| Summary: | bash-completion 1.3 for tar should also complete zip files → bash-completion: tar completion should suggest all formats supported by libarchive |
|---|
Taking a closer look, the tar bash-completion should support all formats supported by libarchive (see both libarchive(3) and libarchive-formats(5)). This includes at least the filename extensions: .tar, .tar.(gz|bz2|xz|lzma|Z), .t(gz|bz2|xz|lz), .zip, .iso, .cpio

You appear to be correct. I had no idea tar could do that.
